    Mainland China’s loan interest rate stabilizes and financing demand improves

    Zhou Maohua, a macro researcher at the Financial Markets Department of Everbright Bank, pointed out that mainland commercial banks are under greater pressure on their net interest margins, which has had a certain impact on the stability of the entire financial market. According to data at the end of 2023, the net interest margin of mainland commercial banks is 1.69%, which is lower than the regulatory consensus level of 1.8%. This means that some banks face certain challenges in terms of interest rates.

    Under this circumstance, mainland loan interest rates remain unchanged, but financing demand has improved to some extent. This shows that although banks are under pressure, the overall economic environment remains stable and the demand for financing from companies and individuals has increased. This is a positive signal for promoting economic development and financial market stability.
